Influence of Intermittency on the Energy Transfer Rate of Solar Wind Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The intermittency in the solar wind turbulence manifests itself in the anisotropic scaling due to the anisotropic spectral index and the intermittent level based on the extended P model. However, the influence of intermittency on the energy transfer rate

Oxygen Ion Percentage Inferred From the Cutoff Frequencies of Ionospheric ELF Hiss Emissions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract The lower cutoff frequency of hiss emissions observed in the ionosphere is controlled by local plasma composition and density. This study identifies 6,340 ionospheric hiss wave events based on observations from the China Seismo‐Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES‐01) from 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2020.

Turbulent Diffusion of Magnetic Field Lines in the Heliosphere

The Astrophysical Journal
Due to solar wind turbulence, Parker spirals are stochastic. The dispersion of magnetic field lines is described by a convection–diffusion equation for the field line density distribution, which is a function of the two heliographic angles in addition to

Structured Energy Conversion in Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract We present quantitative investigations of the energy conversion pathways—electromagnetic ϵEM $\left({{\epsilon}}^{EM}\right)$, fluid flow ϵf $\left({{\epsilon}}^{f}\right)$, and particle thermal ϵth $\left({{\epsilon}}^{th}\right)$ energies—within the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. We find

Interplanetary Electric Fields for Extreme Magnetic Storms

Geophysical Research Letters
Using a list of sudden‐commencement storms, the ring‐current index, and 1‐h near‐Earth solar‐wind measurements from solar cycles 20–25, we develop extreme‐value statistical models relating storm intensity D=max{−Dst} to the storm main‐phase maximum ...

Magnetic Field Disturbance Induced by the Enhanced Suprathermal Ring Current in the Magnetosphere of Saturn

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's ring current, which modulates the global magnetic field configuration, varies dynamically with hot plasma injections. However, quantifying transient magnetic field disturbances remains challenging in the absence of in situ measurements on Saturn's surface.

Kinematic models of the interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2019
Abstract. Current knowledge on the description of the interplanetary magnetic field is reviewed with an emphasis on the kinematic approach as well as the analytic expression. Starting with the Parker spiral field approach, further effects are incorporated into this fundamental magnetic field model, including the latitudinal dependence, the poleward ...

Instabilities Driven by Proton Temperature Anisotropy in the Presence of Alpha Particles: Implications for Proton-temperature-anisotropy Constraint in the Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In situ measurements reveal that proton temperature anisotropy is ubiquitous in the solar wind. Various plasma instabilities have been proposed to regulate the distribution of the proton temperature anisotropy in the solar wind; detailed constraint ...

Empirical Assessment of Storm‐Time Thermospheric Density Inversion Methods From LEO POD Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Thermospheric mass density is one of the largest sources of operational uncertainty for spacecraft in low Earth orbit, particularly during geomagnetic storms. The growing population of Global Navigation Satellite System‐equipped satellites presents a data set of opportunity: precise orbit determination (POD) data streams can be used to ...

Proposed Resolution to the Solar Open Magnetic Flux Problem

The Astrophysical Journal
The solar magnetic fields emerging from the photosphere into the chromosphere and corona are comprised of a combination of closed (field lines with both ends rooted at the Sun) and open (field lines with only one end at the Sun) fields.
